The crash occurred in the southbound rest area of the highway just before 1 a.m., not on the highway itself. Police say that the 2004 Toyota Camry crossed over a raised island between the highway and the Chelmsford rest area entrance and hit a metal guardrail.

Police identified the driver as Han Van Hoang, 43.

The young girl was belted into a car seat, police said.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.
